THAW MUST STAY IN ASYLUM
Slayer of Stanford White is Denied LibertyDecision
of Supreme Court.
Ponghkecpsie. \T. Y., May 25.?
"In view of the existing mental condition
of Harry K. Thaw, the safety
of the public is better insured bv
his remaining in custody and under
observation until he has recovered,
or until such time as it shall be
reasonably certain that there is no
danger of a recurring attack of the
delusion or whatever it may be."
1 his is the decision readied by
Justice Morschauser of the State
supreme court in a decision handed
down today in the matter of Thaw's
application for release from Mat'
teawan asylum for the criminal insane
on a writ of habeas corpus.
Thaw who has been in jail here
since the insanity hearing was begun
was quickly appraised by his
counsel of the adverse nature of the
decision and lias accepted apparently
with resignation the decree that
he is still insane and that the interest
of the public will be best served by
denying him liberty.
I 'ending the signing of the papers
of recommitment which probably
will not be done before a week from
next Saturday Thaw will occupy
Sheriff C hauler's suite in the county
building here. In the meantime
an eflort will be made by Thaw's attorneys
to induce District Attorney
Jerome to consent to the commitment
of the prisoner to one of the
Stale hospitals other than Matteawan.
It is said that in event of Mr.
Jerome giving his consent to such
a changc no appeal will be taken
from Justice Morchauscrs decision.
I'.veil it an appeal were taken it
could not be argued before fall.
HOLD COTTON FOR THE MAXIMUM
Nothing to Lose by Holding and Much to
I be Gained.
( otton has advanced $7.50 per
bale in ten days and if we will hold
to it, and not be influenced to sell, it
will in the next ten days make the
same advance and the maximum
wil be reached. Remember
the HJ07 crop is 4,500,000 bales
short. I lr.s makes cotton scarce, not
enough lor consumption. Crop conditions
the lowest in 20 vears.
( >11 the 24th. Texas and ( )klahoina
were visited by the most destructive
flood that has ever been
known.
( )n May foth, our national president,
( . S. Uarrett, issued a circular
letter asking the union men to plow
up 10 per cent of the cotton planted
and put it in food crops. One million
acres have Immmi reported plowed
up. I his looks as if the boys
mean business and will stand behind
their guns.
Do not listen to those who tell
you to sell, it is going lower, when
they know it will go upward bv
June.
Do not torg?H that corn is $1,10
per bushei and plenty of time to
plant yet. \\ ell filled corn-cribs and
smoke-houses will always make cotton
bring the maximum price.
r?o(h the Kuropcau and American
mills are about out of cotton, so
hold to your spot and Lj'et the maxi|
mum price.

NORTH CAROLINA DRY
State Goes Dry by About 40,000 Plurality.
Majority May Be Larger.
Raleigh, X. C., May 26.?Xorth
C arolina was carried for State prohibition
today by a majority that is
estimated at trom 40.000 to 42,000
on reports and estimates received up
to midnight.
The prohibition ticket has carried
7& (>ut of the 98 counties by majorities
approximating 48,000. The
anti-prohibition ticket has 20 counties
by majorities approximating
This calculation is based on
some estimates and the prohibition
leaders say it is possible for the prohibition
majority to reach 50,000. A
close estimate of the vote would
give a prohibition majority of about
45.000.
I he election passed off very
quietly, no disturbances of any moment
being reported. The total vote
cast in the State was about 175.000.

Salisbury, \\ tMay 25.
( hairmap. IJoydeu ol the anti-prohibition
forces made this statement
at 8:^0 >Yloek tonight in reference
to today s election :
"Scattering reports from 35 counties
shw tlit the vote on prohibition
will be very close, and until
the returns are in from all the
counties I do not concede that the
State has gone for prohibition. The
vote at this hour shows that Raleigh.
Wimington, Salisbury and
some other cities have voted in favor
of the retention of the locai
option system. Considering that the
State already was 85 per cent, prohibition
the vote indicates that the
people are against the mixing of
religion with politics." j
